World No Tobacco Day
May 31 · Level 9 · #325 of 2238
World No Tobacco Day is a World Health Organization initiative highlighting the harm caused by tobacco and supporting people who want to quit. It also draws attention to everyone exposed to someone else's smoke.
How it is celebrated: health organizations run awareness campaigns, host talks and explain where people can find help with quitting. Public events also encourage smoke-free shared spaces.
You do not have to smoke to be affected by tobacco: breathing second-hand smoke can harm your health too. That makes this observance relevant well beyond the people who use tobacco.
